avant-garde anachronism in old paintings

this thread makes me feel like Tuomas

those sculptures (or pics thereof...i dunno how it works irl) do kinda induce nausea.....whereas ppl usually say 'nauseated' to describe non-physical sensations that they wanna amplify by invoking physical nausea....but my thoughts only, pls let's not ruin the ~crazy weird old pictures~ w/ further cavilling

*shakes head*

brb scanning bosch pieces for a figure jumping a shark.

omg @ the blake

OK: let's settle the nauseous/nauseated matter:

nauseous
Causing nausea; sickening

nauseated
To be feeling, or having been caused to feel nausea.

Purists will argue that "nauseous" should not be used to mean "feeling nausea," but I don't see how you can argue against gbx' use of "nauseated."

the thing that produces nausea is NAUSEOUS
when you have a sensation of nausea you are NAUSEATED

you're welcome

i remember seeing that phonebooth years ago.. it is aweseous

idk, can we do knorpelgroteske?

Shortlived but kinda fascinating.

Can I quote myself from something which I haven't actually finished yet?

...together forming a sort of musical knorpelgroteske, the 17th century Germanic artform where ornamental foliage intertwines and melts into half-seen faces of animals, monstrously distorted or assimilated into the vegetative surroundings, so that the viewer can never be quite sure what exactly is being portrayed, other than getting an impression of the primal fear, of man, peering into the darkened forest.

Can I can I? clearly i can, entitled m'f'er.

That's crazy... hadn't heard of this before

Uhh, this, I guess.

that is an utterly bizarre painting!

I am more up on my cartoons. In that vein, I think my 18th century bro James Gillray deserves some kind of nod. I always thought of him as like some 18th c proto-Basil Woolverton. Obv he has his own thing going on too.

I saw this in Spain and was actually shocked/amused. It still seems weird.

Who is this by? It's pretty bizarre.

Looks like the girl from die antwoord tbh

Xpost: Jean Fouquet, and that Painting is apparently C. 1450

I don't know anything beyond that.

The Fouquet has some intense saturation going on. Wiki: It also happens to be a portrait of Charles VII's mistress Agnès Sorel.

for real tho, some og sorcerers claimed to be able to send sound/images through the air or communicate across the globe instantly or know other's thoughts without speaking to them. these magical things have now become daily routine; we all do these to the point of mundanity.

you know those old alchemists were fucked up on opium and mercury. imo drugs + technology = the future. same thing happened in the 60s with home computers/the internet.

can't find a better picture online but the view of this from the front looks like mickey mouse as re-imagined by radionhead. dated between 300 and 900ad.

good revive and excellent thread

i saw that documentary yesterday, Janina Ramirez? yes amazing but i couldn't help thinking "what if it wasn't really a toy at all?"

Do these count?

XXp toself
Apart from the offtopic dali shite that adam b posted of course!

Goth historian, yes. the three episodes were all excellent.

they've found dozens of other examples of wheeled toys, spread around the place - https://uncoveredhistory.com/mesoamerica/wheeled-toys/

another example of early art that is striking (i've posted this in another thread before, i think) - very early chinese sculptures found in Sanxingdui that predate and are unlike anything else that follows. also, aquaphibian.
